Comment (by markoheijnen):

 With similar ones I compare it with `the_content` and that one also not
 have it. I rather would revert it since they are more like theme functions
 which are generally used in a loop.

 Isn't it an option to put functions like this in WP_Post? and change the
 theme functions to call the methods in WP_Post. As a plugin developer I
 would love to use WP_Post more and doing something like this would be a
 good step.
